Dara Cottage today welcomes a new member of the family. Continuing the tradition of having a hamster in residence, we’re now joined by a female Syrian hamster we’ve named Antigone, or Tiggy for short. To celebrate Tiggy is enjoying the ample surrounds of a brand new cage. Here’s the very first photo of her:

More photos will follow in due course but for the next few days Tiggy will be getting used to her new surrounds. We’ve long become used to the scurrying and industrious sounds of a hamster in the house and we’re pleased to welcome them back today – and in such an adorable package too!
Ahwww look at her paws!
